Ragalakshan is a composition based in a particular raga which best
describes the raga. Through its poetic content, it gives you the whole
picture & nature of the raga. It tells you about:
The ascent (aaroha) & the descent (avaroha)
The sonant (vadi) & consonant (samvadi) swaras
The type or kind of raga - audav, shadav or sampurna
The time (prahar) of the raga
As Ragalakshan describes the raga, its unique feature is that the name of
the raga figures in its poetic content.
Ragalakshan compositions can be set to any tala - most common being
Teental, Ektal, Jhaptal & Rupak - and are sung like any other compositions
in madhya laya or drut laya.
Ragalakshan is also sometimes called Lakshangeet.
